A first attempt at Totoro mantou (饅頭, yeast dumplings)
My daughter had asked for Totoro cookies, but to avoid those being taken away from her with the "you can't eat too many cookies" line I looked into things that are OK every day, bread and mantou.
Mantou are pretty similar to German Hefekloesse, except that they often have their own flavour and/or some filling.
So I used a recipe for Hefekloesse, then split the dough and added food dye and cocoa, depending on the desired colour.
The belly is just a small disk of white dough, unfortunately it does not grow proportionally to the main body, this is something I need to solve next time, the rest was somehow OK.
Now I'm waiting for the test eater to wake up...

Wow, das hätte ich nicht gedacht, die sind ja farblich so geblieben. Ich hatte Bedenken, wegen dem Wasserdampf, ok, ok nun kommt die grosse Verkostung :)
Ah Totoro is one of my favorite characters, can I have one? :-)
Massimo Marengo if you drop by, sure!
Ilona Fichtner dummerweise hatte ich ein Rezept fuer Hefekloesse genommen, die haben selbst aber keinen Geschmack. Da muss ich naechstes Mal was aendern...
aufschneiden und eine Fruchtsoße dazugeben
Ist hier nicht ueblich. Naja, naechstes Mal...
Olaf Fichtner When my niece was little and wanted something while we were doing video chat on the computer, she used to complain that she could not get it "because of the glass". I guess the G+ "glass" would not let Totoro pass through either ;-)
Massimo Marengo well, then either they or you need to get sufficiently quantum-entangled to be transported through the wires... ;-)
I am still rooting for Star Trek replicator ;-)
Yummm looks tasty! 😋
Maia Legazpi that will happen next time, they lacked a bit sweetness this time.
Christine Maihack yes. My mistake was to use a German recipe, which comes without flavour. That's something I have to fix next time.
Other than that they look OK. Well, prototypes...
Christine Maihack nah, don't get to do that because I rather seldom see my daughter...
Christine Maihack yeah, as Obi-Wan said: Sith happens...
